Polemical, Professional People
(including Academics)

shares, posts, …
- Can be Integrated Together

Modal Illustrations

quotations, transitive dissemination
- Apply scientific publications ethical rules
- Encourage Open Access (vs Copyright)
- Promote an Agile Knowledge Management/Transfer Process

25. Recommendations : DO NOT
- Start Polemics (except argued scientific ones about your research)
- Denigrate your institution (and other ones), people (colleagues, XP
subjects, students, organizations) and their works especially research
- Mess with data (especially personal, people, customer, citizen,
medical, … information) confidentiality, security, anonymity … wrt

frameworks and regulations. In doubt, ask authorization
